Definition of decimal point in English:

noun

Take special note of the positioning of the decimal points in those two figures.

To change a percentage to a fraction, divide it by 100 and reduce the fraction or move the decimal point to the right until you have only integers.

Fiction editors are capable of endless folly, and any one of them would be prepared to cough up the traditional six figures - before the decimal point - in return for the promise of a novel from such a divine and dazzling creature.
